The funding includes 2.9 billion VND sourced from the
State budget for the national target programme on building new-style rural areas
which will be partly spent on training, purchasing machines and management.

The remainder will be donated by citizens through labour,
seeds, fertiliser, pesticides, and net and glass houses.

Flower production in Sa Pa has seen strong growth in
recent years thanks to favourable local conditions. The district has become one
of the key flower farming areas in the northwestern region.

The project is expected to develop flower farming in the
province and aid local efforts to restructure agriculture and raise incomes for
farmers.

It also aims to create links between businesses and
farmers throughout production and distribution.-VNA
